Such an amazing Inn! Perched above the walk & the setting was so tranquil & beautiful. We spent two evenings sitting at the fire pit enjoying the peace & drinking a glass of wine (lovely afternoon wine & snacks provided!). We loved our room - the decor was stunning - so many special touches. Breakfast was also a treat! Can’t wait to come back! Truly a special place!

The Inn employees were extremely hospitable and friendly 😊 The room was lovely, and fairly quiet, even though it was the only room located on the first floor. Parking is convenient, and a short walk from the front door there is a fire pit with a sitting area on the property. We did hear some of the other guests arrive back to the Inn later at night. And with the stairs to the 2nd floor being right next to our room, the Victorian, we did hear guests bump their luggage up and down the stairs. The food that was offered for breakfast was made right there in the Inn kitchen, and was delicious! There are chairs and tables on the wrap around deck, and the weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze, for dining outside. Overall, I would say the property is exceptional, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay celebrating our wedding anniversary 😊 If I could make one suggestion, however, it would be to only allow children 12 and up to stay at the Inn. Both mornings around 8 am we could hear the children of one of the guests being very loud right outside our door. Luckily, we didn’t want to sleep in on those days!

Wonderful!

We had a great stay at Cliffside Inn. The staff were kind, professional and accommodating. The room was top notch! Very comfortable, clean, well appointed. Breakfast was delicious each morning. We didn’t stay for wine hour - but it looked yummy with six wine options as two hot appetizers, all complimentary. I hope to return!

Beautiful Birthday Trip

My husband wanted to take me to Newport for my birthday and chose the Cliffside Inn. It was a wonderful trip! Staff was more than helpful and did everything possible to make every guest feel special. The food at breakfast as well as the lovely wine and snacks at 5pm were perfect.

We had such a wonderful stay here. We were given the Cliff Suite which is in a cottage across from the main house. I would happily live in there, the decor was beautiful and the jet tub was big enough for 3! We arrived late after our flighty was delayed and the keys left out for us. The breakfast was delicious and different each day. It was lovely to have a coffee by the fire. We will definitely be back if we return to the area.

Absolutely loved my stay here! Perfect location to do the Cliff walk and enjoy the mansions of Newport. Staff were so lovely. Breakfast was delicious and the wine & canapés each day at 5-6pm was a lovely touch. I enjoyed them in front of the fire. The room was excellent! I stayed in the Lark suite; huge tub, gorgeous marble bathroom, a lovely gas fireplace that kept the room warm and cozy. Very clean. And homemade chocolate chip cookies available each evening by the tea/coffee station. Wonderful! Will return!
